1 first album was metallica and justice for all when i was a kid
2 hiphop(throughout high school, i listened to new york hiphop mostly)
3 after high school, i listened to metal particularly bathory, venom and some black metal(i found the occult/ satanic aspect of it intriguing)
kpop (i got bored with metal and prefer to just see cute girls doing catchy cute songs now)
in this order
that's gonna be a yikes from me dawg
>29
>First into rap because it's what my friends like, was into namely NWA, Eminem, and Beastie Boys but didn't fully relate to it since had no idea what they were talking about half the time
>Discover rock music, KISS - Destroyer being my first real rock CD which I stole from my older sister, instantly fell in love
>Quickly got into other 70's and 80's rock and metal as well like AC/DC, Sabbath, Ozzy, etc
>Discovered thrash through old school Metallica and opened the doors to more aggressive music including death and black metal, while simultaneously being introduced to shit like Slipknot and Mudvayne by my school mates
>Because of those latter bands get into weird shit that wasn't really in line with "metal" like Faith No More and NIN
>Hang out with my sister and her friends more and actually learn some punk music isn't all gay as I thought, like some of it
>Eventually get sick of my primarily death metal grind I was on and kind of retire from metal fora bit, not really but just kind of getting into other things casually
>People at my then job play a lot of pop and country music and dance music at work, decide some of it isn't so bad despite not being anything I want to delve into
>Also get way back into rap during this time (early 2010s) and discover a lot of shit I missed out on or heard before and just neglected for a while
>Ultimately come back to the very beginning and pretty much mostly listen to 70's/80's rock and metal but still liking everything else I named and more over the years
Basically

My earliest memory of actively enjoying music was when I was ~5 and got my brother's old mp3 player (which still works), and my favorite song on that mp3 player was Candy Shop by 50 Cent. That was a big reason why I got into Rap when I was ~13.
I was mainly listening to Rap until I was 15 and discovered this hellhole. I was listening mainly to Yea Forumscore until I was 16, and I started branching out into a fair selection of genres.
Now I don't really have any taste in particular, it really depends on my mood, though my record collection is about 90% Psych and Krautrock, so I guess I lean more towards those styles of music.
Nah just had to correct a mistake.
She's a literal 10.

~10: hip-hop (wu-tang, bone thugs, tupac)
~13-17: hip-hop (the roots, black star), alternative (incubus, foo fighters, system of a down)
undergrad years: indie rock (interpol, broken social scene), backpacker rap (def jux, rawkus)
grad school years: too hard to pinpoint. lots of indie Japanese stuff, hip-hop, black metal, jazz, mpb, "experimental"
post-doc/present: kpop, some japanese stuff, pop (ariana, carly rae), black metal, hip hop
31 years old
in middle school i listened to much music/ mtv music videos because my mother was too poor to buy me cds( i remember liking the offspring, limp bizkit, korn, papa roach)
in high schoool, i was a juggalo and horrorcore fan(i would listen to esham, q strange, brother lynch hung and shit)
became a hiphop fan at 15(i hated southern hiphop except for geto boys and other groups on rap a lot records. i stopped being a juggalo and switched to listening to tupac, notorious big, nas, big pun, cannibus, etc)
after high school i stopped listening to music all together (except with the occasional anime opening).
now i listen to kpop girlfriends like gfriend and lovelyz
kpop girl groups*
kpop girlfriends lol
19
Grew up listening to whatever my family was playing for me, mostly Dad rock from my pops, grunge/alt rock from one of my brothers, and hip-hop from my other brother. Then my mom would just play me pop shit or love ballads on the radio
Once I was old enough I would just go deep into the YouTube music hole and find a bunch of random shit. Think I was mostly listening to Green Day at the time, I can distinctly remember playing the boulevard of broken dreams music video on ondemand on repeat as a youngin
Got into electronic music as a preteen. I was the kid saying “umm actually this isn’t dubstep, it’s progressive electro mixed with dutch house”. Cringe
Then my friend introduced me to DOOM and it was all downhill from there. Jazz, folk, experimental hip-hop; the works of shit to make me feeler superior to normies
Now I just listen to whatever
27
>Rock, liked it in most forms throughout my life. My dad used to be a big dadrock guy and I got it from him
>Metal, liked different subgenres through different parts of my life. Heavy metal, melodeath, industrial, folk and power metal when I was younger, now I primarily listen to doom/stoner, with Electric Wizard being one of my favorite bands of all time
>Jazz, swing and funk are genres I only listened to occasionally, still listen to some jazz, and enjoy swing and funk but don't seek them out
>Synthwave, discovered it around the time Hotline Miami came out. Still enjoy some bands but I got a bit oversaturated
>Trip hop, I listened to Portishead's Dummy four years ago and I've been actively listening to a shitton of the genre since the day. Expanded to electronica and downtempo from it
>Synthpop, also got into it gradually from trip hop. Some contemporary, some classic
>Used to hate hip hop, now I like some of it, but I'm very picky
>Reggae, weirdly enough my dadrock-dad started listening to it after travelling a lot and got me into it

chick I banged once introduced me to alt metal, Yea Forums unironically got me into death metal & such
I'm glad I never had a meme music phase or shit like that, I do cringe when I remember my edgy "lul reggaeton sux" numetal phase, it kept me from making friends with normies tho, so I'm kinda glad
24 or something
>childhood
I don't know, simple pop music and surprisingly local punk
>early teens
Slipknot was my favorite band back then
>16-21 or 22
I was really into post-rock

gayyyy
based
Hey, I like you

Stupid lil person who thought music is stupid
>14
Got into brostep and epic music thought it was the best shit ever
>16
Started smoking weed listening mainly to Roots Reggae with some Pop Reggae/Punk Ska/Dub/Ragga stuff
>18
Bleeps IDM/Psytrance/Goatrance/Psybient/Dubstep
Started going through Yea Forums essential charts
>19
Political/Conscious Hip Hop/Progressive Rock
More listening to highly and/or critically acclaimed albums
>20-21
Listening to more experimental shit, kinda lost my mind here
>22 (now)
I listen to a lot, it helps that I can listen a lot during work. I started creating playlists for different genres of music by just going to RYM and filtering the chart to singles and the subgenre. Genres I really like rn:
Abstract Hip Hop, Art Rock, Alternative Rock, Punk Rock, IDM, Heavy Metal, (Neoclassical) Darkwave, Techno, Psychedelica
almost 30
>up until 14 years old: whatever garbage was popular, i think the only albums i bought back then were rap and hiphop, predominantly Eminems releases.
>14-20
early 2000's and late 90s dance music; hard trance, psy/goa trance, acid, hard house, hard techno, dark psy... dabbled with a lot of drugs later on.
>20-21
made a hard reset of my life, moved to a new city ditched 90% of my friends and family, listened mostly just radio stations playing random pop music from 1960s-1990s century
>21-25
metal, starting from generic ACDC's and Iron Maidens, ended up in the black end. black metal festivals are still the only live music festivals i frequent because the people there are fucking awesome... but other than that i eventually got quite jaded of the heavy metal genre, there are some bands that offer amazing musicianship and songwriting but majority of value is found in the delivery and attitude, which is best experienced live.
>25/26 and onwards
Listening to anything thats good but by hours listened classical music and 20th century pop, rock and punk are up there, i've also finally gotten over myself and bought back some acid / hard house vinyls, that shit is still banging... also played a piano for 2 years now.
Theres are the bands I mainly listened to during my teenage years (25 now) and the bands I listen to know are
>Katatonia
>The Sword
>WolfTooth
>The Necromancers
>Sundrifters
>Dark Temple
30 (has Yea Forums always been this old?)
>middle school

>high school
-Listened to a lot of pretty popular alternative rock stuff: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, The Smiths, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine.
-Started familiarizing myself with the punk canon: Dead Kennedys, The Stooges, Fugazi, etc.
-Started venturing outside of white rock: James Brown, Prince, Sly and the Family Stone, West Coast g-funk.
>college
-Really started to get into left field hip-hop and electronic stuff: Flying Lotus, Samiyam, Nosajthing (the whole LA beat scene/Low End Theory thing really). Dubstep (kode9, skream, Coki).
-Started getting into jazz.
>post-college to now
Recently I've been listening to a fair bit of 60's - 90's country, twinkly emo/mathy stuff, japanese post-rock, and jazz
Nothing outstanding. Kind of a directionless, aimless meandering over the past 15 years.

>rock (~14-20)
>hard-rock (~15-20)

>hip-hop / rap (~18-21)
>reggae (~20-21)
>progressive / alternative rock (~20-21)
>synthwave (~22-)
>classical (~23-)
There's also some classical jazz and disco that I like, but not enough to add to this list. And I've always hated dubstep and most modern jazz.
43 - Started out listening to classic rock and then it gradually got heavier. Huge into death metal, modern thrash and death core now. I went through a rap phase in the 90's but it's all the same so I got sick of it quickly. Only rap I still listen to is The Insane Clown Posse, they're just different.
>19

>Middle school
Mostly whatever was on the radio, anime soundtracks, and "classic rock" (scorpions, gn’r, springsteen, kansas...)
>High school
I had several phases. I started out by listening to whatever the arty popular kids were into, which was 60s-70s rock, so I listened to the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Bob Dylan etc. a lot.
Then I started exploring on my own: I listened to a lot of prog, I really liked the european "avant-prog" stuff. I remember at one point I got really into post-punk too.
>early undergrad
I was really busy so I mostly listened to what I already knew
>late undergrad (19-21):
I started listening to more hip hop and funk. I also got a goth gf for a while so I had a post punk revival.
>Recent years (22-24)
Now that I am taking voice lessons I mostly listen to vocal jazz and musicals

Around 10 I'd listen The Beatles, Muse, Linking Park, some ska.
From 10 to 13 I got into progressive metal and metal, Ayreon, Megadeath, Pain of Salvation, Edguy, AX7.
Then I started to get into more electronic stuff around 15, Daft Punk, Madeon, Chromeo, Crystal Castles, DIOFYY. But I was also listening to to Indie stuff around that time (Funeral Suits, Lake, The Black keys, Daughter, Arctic Monkeys, Royal Republic)
Then at 16 I got into jazz and funk jazz, thought the only band I ended up sticking with from that state was Deluxe.
Around 19 I got into V A P O R W A V E and synthwave I would just listen to popular stuff though, also started to check out japanese bands like group_inou, wednesday campanella and random stuff I would find.
Around 20 and until now I got into rap, Denzel Curry, J.I.D, 50 Cents, Chill Bump, but I pretty much listen to everything I listed specially from 16 onward.
Also throughout all if this I've been listening to video games and anime OSTs though they can't fall into a single category, some are electronic say Space Dandy OST, some are acoustic like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou's OST made by Gontiti and Choro Club, some are just normal jpop or more instrumental like Made in Abyss OST or whatever Yuji Ohno makes.
I'm sure I'm missing a lot of stuff because I will just listen to any recommendation I get whether by youtube, people or Yea Forums and I like most of them.
>9 - 12
Classic rock stations and wrestling themes, I was really into Queen for the longest time.
>12- 14
Got really into skate punk and pretty much any band that played warped tour; also a little bit of 90s hip hop thanks to San Andreas. Started browsing Yea Forums at this time so there were some stand outs like Death Grips and some noise rock like Sonic Youth, Big Black, and Slint.
>14 - 17
Was depressed as shit, listened to a lot of 90s emo, extreme metal (death/black, grindcore, etc), a little bit of of shoegaze, 80s Goth, and The Smiths. I also got into Mac DeMarco, Car Seat Headrest, and LCD Soundsystem.
>17-18
A transitional period, more of the same genres I was listening to but just more extra stuff (Crystal Castles, Death From Above 1979, Sunn 0))), The 1975, etc). I got into late 90s/early 2000s post hardcore like At The Drive-In and Glassjaw, and a LOT of swedish death metal. I came out as bi at the time so I was kind of reaching into my feminine side with Ariana Grande, Mitski, Soccer Mommy, Jay Som, and Carly Rae Jepsen,
>19 (Now)
Im having a quarter life crisis rn so im just listening to pop songs from my era that younger me would have fucking hated (Fergie, Beyonce, and Hillary Duff oddly enough), and I've gotten a lot more into rap with lil Peep, Tyler, The Creator, Lil Uzi and Playboi Carti. Im still listening to a lot of stuff from my teenage years tho.
Sorry for the blogpost but idk how to explain my music taste without making an essay out of it
